I wanna build a program that allows you to send a mail and advices you when you have new mail. I know that for this I have to kee it running in the background. Would you recommend using C++ for such a purpose? (It's pretty much a mail client for now, but latter I plan to add a ton of things).
Also, I've read the best way to achieve this is trough sockets. Is that true? Could you recommend some articles on the topic?

Thanks for all :)

No, of the languages to choose C++ is not the best. You would need an smtp mail server as well either from your hosting or perhaps gmail (seen it done)
